定语从句语法归纳及练习一、基本概念(一)定语从句在复合句中作定语,修饰名词或代词的从句叫定语从句。
(二)先行词被定语从句所修饰的名词或代词。
一般情况下,定语从句紧跟先行词。
但也有因各种原因定语从句与先行词被分割的现象。
(三)关系代词和关系副词定语从句的引导词。
与先行词关系密切,因此紧跟先行词,并在定语从句中充当一个成分。
关系代词有:who, whom, which, that和whose, 另外,as也可充当关系代词。
关系代词在定语从句中充当主语、宾语、表语和定语。
关系副词有:when, where和why。
在定语从句中充当状语。
二、关系代词的用法(一)基本用法根据先行词的不同,和在从句中所充当的成分不同,选用不同的关系代词。
如下表:例如:(注意关系代词在定语从句中所充当的成分)① Do you know the professor who/that will give us a speech next week? (作主语)② I read a report about his new novel that/ which will soon be published. (作主语)③ The plan that/which they argued about was settled at last. (作宾语)④ This is the new secretary (who/whom/that)I would like to introduce to you. (作宾语)⑤ The soldier whose legs were badly wounded was operated on without delay. (作定语)注意:关系代词在定语从句中充当宾语时可以省略,充当主语时则不能。
(见上例③④)(二)关系代词that代替which的一些情况which, that 在代替物时,一般可以通用。
但在有些情况下,只用 that。
⑴先行词是最高级形容词或它的前面有最高级形容词修饰时。
例如:① This is the best that has been used against pollution.② English is the most difficult subject that you will learn during these years.⑵ 先行词是序数词,或它前面有一个序数词时。
例如:① This is the last place (that) I want to visit.② It is the first American movie of this kind that I’ve ever seen.⑶ 先行词是 all, much, little, something, everything, anything, nothing, none等代词时。
例如:① You should hand in all that you have.② We haven’t got much that we can offer you.⑷ 先行词前面有the only, the very, any, few, little, no, all, much, every等修饰时。
例如:① The only thing that we can do is to give you some money.② The little money (that) he had was stolen.(三)宜用who, 而不用that的一些情况⑴ 先行词是one, ones, anyone时。
例如:① One who has nothing to fear for oneself dares to tell the truth.② Don’t tell anyone about the news who oughtn’t to know it.⑵先行词是those时。
例如:① Those who were not fit for their work could not see the beautiful clothes made of the magic cloth.(四)其它情况⑴ 先行词既有人又有物时。
例如:① Do you know the things and persons that they are talking about?② The bike and its rider that had run over an old man were taken to the police station.⑵ 主句已有疑问词who 或which时。
例如:① Which is the bike that you lost?② Who is the woman that was praised at the meeting?(五)与whose有关的问题⑴ whose是代词的所有格,它既可以代人也可以代物。
例如:① I saw a woman whose bag was stolen.② Please show me the book whos e cover is red.⑵ 当whose表示物与物的所有格关系时,亦可用of which的形式。
例如:① The building whose roof you can see from here is a new restaurant.→ The building, the roof of which you can see from here, is a new restaurant.或→ The building, of which the roof you can see from here is a new restaurant. 三、介词前提的问题关系代词在定语从句中充当介词宾语时,介词可以前提至关系代词前。
例如:Have you seen the pen (which) I wrote the note with just now? (which作介词with 的宾语)→Have you seen the pen with which I wrote the note just now?但是,要注意的是:⑴ 介词前提后,先行词是人或物,关系代词分别只能用whom和which,而不再用that或who。
⑵ 介词前提后,关系代词不再能省略。
⑶ 有些含有介词的短语动词中的介词不能前提,如:look for, look after, take care of 等。
例如:①错误:Who is the old man to that you were talking to?正确:Who is the old man to whom you were talking ? 或 Who is the old man (that/ whom) you were talking to?②错误:These are the sheep of which the boy took care.正确:These are the sheep (which/that) the boy took care of.四、关系代词在从句中作主语时,从句中的主谓一致关系代词在定语从句中作主语时,从句的谓语动词在人称和数上应与先行词一致。
例如:① Who is the guy that is reading over there?② The number of people that are going to the exhibition is expected to be over25,000.③All that needs to be done has been done.④ He is one of the students who use computer a lot for study.⑤ Timmy is the only one of the pupils that has failed the exam.例③中的all意为“一切”,作单数。
例⑤中没通过考试的学生事实上只有一人,因此谓语动词也用单数。
